The "V" in VDB stands for "voluntary". DL has shifted to the position -- probably rightly -- that the deal you cut is the deal you cut. If you want ORC, make it part of your VDB deal and have the agent handling the reroute put a note in your record. When you request the ORC, specifically mention the note in the record.

There is no such thing as an ORC rule, so it is always a customer service gesture. In the case of VDB, it's easily handled.
